'Kato' says Nicole predicted her murder

LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Brian "Kato" Kaelin's deposition
transcripts suggest Nicole Brown Simpson may have thought
she was a woman marked for death. The transcripts were
released on Tuesday.

Kaelin told lawyers that O.J. Simpson's ex-wife often
described Simpson as an abusive, jealous man who someday
would kill her.

Daniel Petrocelli, attorney for the family of Ronald Goldman,
asked, "How did she say O.J. would kill her?" "She said with
scissors," Kaelin answered.

Kaelin added, "She had said that, 'If O.J. would ever kill
me, he'll get away with it because he's O.J. Simpson.'"

Kaelin also said Simpson was much more upset after his
daughter's dance recital than Kaelin described when he
testified during Simpson's criminal trial.

Kaelin said Simpson was frustrated the day of the murders
because Nicole wouldn't let him see their daughter and
because she took her children out to dinner without inviting
him.

Simpson was acquitted in October of the June 12, 1994,
slayings of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald
Goldman, outside her condominium. But, the victims' families
have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against him.

Petrocelli, said he is pleased with Kaelin's most recent
testimony.

"I believe that he's a genuine, sincere witness who has
first-hand observations and first-hand accounts to report
with no reason to lie," he said.

But transcripts suggest that Simpson's attorney, Robert
Baker, repeatedly pressed Kaelin on his testimony. At one
point Baker raised the possibility that Kaelin was involved
in the murders, asking him whether Kaelin's boots matched the
bloody shoe prints at the crime scene.

Kaelin said he didn't know, but would try to find the boots
he was wearing that day.

Also Tuesday, Baker blasted the news media and attorneys for
the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman, accusing
them of trying to shape public opinion about the case before
it goes to trial.
